For history lovers, a walking tour in the spot where the history took place with a knowledgeable historian is a special opportunity.

Next week, at 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 26, Tony Kelso, Duxbury’s Town Historian, will lead a walking tour of the south side of Powder Point, a beautiful area right on the harbor.

The former Weston family property was developed by the Wrights at the turn of the 20th century. Many of the houses built during the period of 1900-1920 had famous architects designing them, considered a testament to the wealth and connections of the summer residents at the time.

Kelso has recently completed some brand new research on this topic, and the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society is hosting this event.

Admission is $5 for all. Meet on the front lawn of the King Caesar House at 120 King Caesar Road in Duxbury.
